Classmates & Letter, BangJae, PG13Yongguk took a deep breath, he was nervous. He sighed when he saw Youngjae he bit his lip thinking of the boy's reaction to the letter that was left in the locker. Youngjae just walked past, holding his history book, he must've got the letter. He made eye contact with Yongguk but just carried on to his seat, leaning to give his best friend a hug. Yongguk felt a slight pang of jealousy, he wanted to be the person Youngjae came to school to see. He wanted to kiss the boy against his locker, having to pull away just because Youngjae was late for class, and he really had to go to. Yongguk sighed as a teacher came into the room. He just looked at the front, he could hear the teacher but all he could think of was Youngjae

Conversation, Daejae, PG

It starts in the van on the way back to the hotel from the venue. Or, rather, it doesn't start at all, and that's the problem.

Sunken into the back-seat by dead weights disguised as his limbs, Daehyun turns to Youngjae, opens his mouth, and--

Nothing comes out. He can't conjure up anything to say.

Youngjae doesn't notice, is fiddling with the buttons on his jacket, and then laughing at something out of the window: a child in little yellow rainboots, splashing at the side of the road as the van comes to a stop at a red light.

But it's not something Daehyun is used to, and he panics internally until the van starts to move again. He watches Youngjae out of the corner of his eye, and desperately thinks of something to talk about. Mouth opening like a fish three times more, until--

"Hey, uh, practise was good, right?" It comes out stilted, clumsy, desperateYoungjae says, "Hmm? Yeah." Closes his eyes and presses his cheek against the window for the rest of the journey home

Conversation, Daejae, PG, Part II (I swear this fic really is less than 1000 words, though probably not by much LOL)

Daehyun isn't sure if it's worth saying, but decides his sore cheek would want him to voice his concern. Says, "We haven't spoken properly all day. Or even-- maybe for a few days."

"Yes we have." Youngjae dismisses this, too tired, doesn't understand.

"No-- not really."

"Haven't we?"

Youngjae doesn't seem to grasp the weight of this, and Daehyun is feeling irritated. "This has never happened to us before, Jae! We're always talking. We're-- what if this is a sign?"

Youngjae scoffs, noses into Daehyun's neck. "I've had a cold and we're tired from the tour and-- sometimes it's nice to just be in your company. Quietly." He pulls back, and Daehyun can make out the whites of his eyes in the dark. "It doesn't mean anything-- not anything bad anyway. It just means that I won't have ear-ache for the rest of my life, because apparently you can shut up sometimes

Hello, himup please?

[almostblue]

yessss :D

strange, wonderful, cloudy, sweatshirt, scent

[arysthaeniru]

Himup?

[almostblue]

\\o//

reconciliation, loss, skirt, hands, smile

[arysthaeniru]

hands / himup / no warningsHimchan has very nice hands. It's something that Jongup notices one day, during a particularly long recording session, where Yongguk is pushing them for perfection, as they record and rerecord the parts of the song, over and over, until Daehyun's voice starts to go a little hoarse. Himcham's hands are fiddling with his pen and the wires of the mics and even with his hoodie. Himchan's someone who's quite active, when he doesn't sleep. Jongup wonders if that's because of the frequent coffee or just part of Himchan's innate charm

[saxophonic23]

Oooh Jongup quietly noticing the small details of Himchan's hands!!! Cuuuuute

I APPROVE

oh right words

skin, soft, correct, cherry, strong

[andnowforyaya]

cherry, skin, himdaejae (himjae + daehyun), r?, strippers, alcohol, sex workHimchan keeps the next shot from reaching Youngjae's fingers and takes it for himself. Youngjae's on the edge of a professional-level blackout if he keeps going to the way he's going, and Himchan can't help but feel a little more than responsible for him tonight. It's Youngjae's twenty-first, after all, and he'd promised him a good time
